Even the people who believe in global warming have been saying for a 
while that it's a poor name for it. It should be called Climate Change. 
Some places will get warmer, some colder, with weather more extreme.

I still have no idea if it's caused by solar activity or CO2 (manmade or 
otherwise), but cutting CO2 and other forms of pollution isn't a bad 
idea, no matter what.
